Anime Analyze: Chaos;HEad (Anime)

So, the next anime that I will take a look at is the series known as Chaos;HEad.  This anime came to be through a series of events.  First a graphic novel was made for the PC (don't ask me why).  Then a video game was made for the PC and ports were later made for the Xbox 360 and PSP and PS3, iOS, etc.  From the plot of the game, they came out with a manga adaptation which later was made into the anime that we see here.  Yeah, really crazy trip for a story to go.  Anyway, the anime adaptation was made by Madhouse and was aired on TV in 2008.  The opening to the series is "Find the Blue" by Kanako Ito, and the ending for the series was "Desire Blue Sky" by the same artist. So, here is my review of the anime series, Chaos;HEad.  

Anime Analyze: Tenjho Tenge (Anime)

This next anime is called Tenjho Tenge.  Made by the company Oh! Great, it was originally made as a manga and then remade into the anime series in 2004.  Like some other shows that I have reviewed, it only lasts 24 episodes, however the manga goes farther in the story than the anime.  Through the entire series there is just one opening song, "Bomb A Head" by m.c.A.T. So, lets get into the anime Tenjho Tenge. 

New AMV

This AMV was made by Hikachan as a submission to Anime Banzai 2012 and we uploaded it to YouTube after the competition. Hope you enjoy!

Anime Analyze: Darker than Black

The next show that I will be reviewing is called Darker than Black, and boy is this one gonna be good.  Made by Bones in 2007 and instead of being adapted from a manga series, the show actually came out first, then the manga was made a released.  At the time it was also awarded Best Original Anime of the Year by the magazine GoGoPlex.  There is also a second season called Darker than Black: Ryusei no Gemini (Gemini of the Meteor), but I will be covering that as well as the four episode OVA's of the show at another time.  The series has 25 episodes in it and had two openings, the first was one of my favorites, "Howling" by Abington Boys School, and the second was "Kakusei Heroism" (The Hero Without a Name) by An Cafe.  So, lets get into one of my favorite shows, Darker than Black.

Anime Analyze: Sengoku Basara: The Last Party (Movie)

 So we all remember the show Sengoku Basara  that I reviewed earlier, it was that anime that never explained how it worked when it came to how the people got abilities and it just went on doing what it did without taking any time to go through the basic mechanics of how people fought. Well that show was freaking awesome and so they made a movie to go along with the show.  This is Sengoku Basara: The Last Party.  Released in 2011 it starts off where the second season ended and is supposed to be the finisher for the animated franchise.  While being the ending for it, I can make the argument that it didn't finish out the series as well as it could have, and I will go into that more later.  So, here is the review of Sengoku Basara: The Last Party.  

Anime Analyze: Black Rock Shooter (OVA)

 So, having looked at the 2012 anime Black Rock Shooter, I took a look at the OVA of the same name using a song title featuring Hatsune Miku, also of the same name.  It was made in 2010 and was taken in strongly by the public which eventually led to the creation of the mainstream anime series two years later.  Though the OVA series itself only lasted one episode, which created some flaws in it believe me, it was fun to watch and I am going to go more in depth with it now, so lets take a look at Black Rock Shooter the OVA.
